NGO launch a petition to save ‘Hondoq ir- Rummien’

Published on www.maltastar.com on Monday 3rd May, 2010.

Moviment Harsien Hondoq has asked Maltese and Gozitan citizens to sign a petition in a bid to save ‘Hondoq ir – Rummien.’

An application for a massive project, which includes a large hotel, villas, apartments, shops and a yacht marina, threatens to change Hondoq ir-Rummien’s landscape.

The NGO said in a statement: “Gozo cannot afford to turn Hondoq ir-Rummien in another commercialised area like Xlendi, Marsalforn and Imgarr. This deprives people of places to relax in contact with nature away from the usual stress of their urban surroundings. Such a project will also detract from Gozo’s unspoilt appeal and will therefore be detrimental to tourism in Gozo.”
